The ability to perform in-hand manipulation still remains an unsolved problem; having this
capability would allow robots to perform sophisticated tasks requiring repositioning and …

This article attempts to review papers on power assist rehabilitation robots, human motion
intention, control laws, and estimation of power assist rehabilitation robots based on human …

Electromyography (EMG) based interfaces are the most common solutions for the control of
robotic, orthotic, prosthetic, assistive, and rehabilitation devices, translating myoelectric …

In soft robotics, there is still a great need for a universal but simple gripper that realizes a
high level of adaptability as well as a gentle touch to a wide variety of unknown objects of …

This work proposes a framework that improves the dexterous manipulation capabilities of
two fingered grippers by: i) optimizing the finger link dimensions and the interfinger distance …

This study presents a novel four-degrees-of-freedom parallel gripper with potential
application to industrial automation. The gripper adopts a parallel gras** mode on objects …

When using a tool, the grasps used for picking it up, reposing, and holding it in a suitable
pose for the desired task could be distinct. Therefore, a key challenge for autonomous in …

The use of tactile information is one of the most important factors for achieving stable in-
grasp manipulation. Especially with low-cost robotic hands that provide low-precision …

In-hand manipulation is necessary, yet challenging for robotic hands as robots begin to
interact with real-world objects and environments. The intentional incorporation of an active …

As robots begin to move from structured industrial environments to the real world, they must
be equipped to not only safely interact with the environment, but also reason about how to …
